Syria has a lousy economy and cannot afford large expend itures to fund the terrorist groups
it supports. However, having chosen to ride in the terrorist boat, with Iran standing at the helm, Assad has been able to rule a terrorist dominated nation by generating oil money trade support from Iran’s oil driven economy. The financial and military support, which comes from Syria to the numerous terror groups of Islam, is passed via Syria from Iran to a large extent.
It is out of Iran that the Islamic spirit of Jihad is ever growing, and out of which the 10 toes of the stature in Daniel 2 will be funded by oil revenues. Sanctions against Syria by the UN and the US are effective, but as long as the Iranian support is there, then the sanctions are not nearly as effective.
China, the sleeping giant, is now fully awake. Before World War Two, I remember that many things I found in ten cent stores were labeled “made in Japan.” Now, most things I see in stores are labeled “made in China.” China has turned into an industrial giant and our trade deficit with it is staggering. China loves its new world economic position, but needs liquid natural gas (LNG) to manufacture its raw materials.
Last year a deal was made with Iran to supply tons of LNG worth some 100 billion dollars. And, it seems probable that a new deal will soon be completed for 200 billion dollars. Under the new agreement Iran will export 10 million tons of LNG each year for 25 years in return for the investment of Chinese monies in exploration and drilling. Iran’s oil wealth causes sanctions against it to be insignificant.
Russia has plenty of its own oil and exports a lot
of it. But the collapse of the Soviet Union was primarily an economic collapse. Russia’s tie to Iran is based on the drastic need to boost its sagging economy. The Russian economy is tied to present and anticipated multi-billion dollar contracts to build Iranian nuclear related facilities. The Russians have also raised their economy on past and present sales of weapons systems and aircraft to Iran, and continued sales will lift it to a higher degree of respectability in
the future.
Daniel 2:42-44 – And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. [43] And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall MINGLE themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. [44] And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
The word from which “MINGLE” is translated is “ARAB.” And the descendants of Abraham through Hagar and Keturah, and Lot’s two daughters, are most assuredly a “MINGLED” people. The 10 toes are ARAB nations.
The kingdom set up in verse 44 is the one which will be established by the Messiah when he returns following the horror of the tribulation period.
Luke 21:26-28 – Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
[27] And then shall
they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
[28] And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Russia and China will not join with the Arab nations in the initial Jihad against Israel, but will join the Assyrian antichrist some three and one-half years later, when he requests them to join him in a final destruction of
Israel at Armageddon.
Revelation 16:16 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Daniel 12:1 – And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
